Plotting against other realms? Care to give an example that wasn't provided by Alara?
Gabanus, getting real tired of your condescending tone. You mention your numbers, yet it's not my fault that you've made decisions that have caused people to leave your realm. Just because you're ok with something doesn't make it good for the game, you're making a logical fallacy in your argument.
I'm also tired of every single ruler playing the white knight, this is what causes these gangbangs in the first place. "Oh that realm's at war, that's bad, let's go to war with them and gang bang them". !@#$ing every time.
There was quite some talks in the ruler's channel from Alara and Minas Nova and I'm not certain what other realms. Whatever the truth is, I can tell you what perception there was at least from my side and most likely from the other rulers as well. Perception in the end is what drives action. Xavax' arrogance and decisions have led to their current situation, as has Oligarch's. There is no problem in that, but it is what it is.
Now whether or not as a player I think this is good for the game is a whole other matter, but I can certainly understand why it happened as it did.
In addition, we have not made decisions that made people leave the realm really. There are a few which stopped playing BM alltogether, of which I knew 2 were simply too busy IRL. It's quite possible that another may not have fully enjoyed Oligarch but I believe in general everyone does. I regret not being able to spend more time on it these last 2 months, but that's how it is.
The reason I may sound condescending to you, which is not my intention really, is because you have been verbally assaulting any thought I've written down here from the beginning and I've felt the need to defend myself and explain. Everytime I do so, you come up with some other stuff, which I then explain and elaborate upon again.
Even the player of Xavax' current ruler wrote that it was very likely Xavax' own fault, yet you feel the need to badger me about this further to somehow stick with your initial point which basically summarizes as: "Everything Gabanus says is bs".
And do tell, which rulers have all acted like the white knight, because I know quite some who are everything but. Caligus is opportunistic as hell even under Teniel, nothing white knight about what they do and to my knowledge has never been (which makes it fun). Garas sure as hell is everything but a white knight, so is Sirion as a whole these days. And some of the others simply see their own interests threathened. Now I'm no fan of gangbangs whatsoever, hate them, but calling them white knights seem to me rather inaccurate.
